Active optical alignment systems,
from R&D to production.
EW finds and holds the position of minimum optical loss
between your device and your fiber.
What can EW handle?
- Optical fibers
- Fiber arrays
- Waveguides
- Chip-type LDs
- Face-to-face alignment
- Loopback alignment
- Grating coupler alignment

Turnkey Systems
Alignment, solved on day one.
Stage, controller, and alignment software.
One system.
The alignment software is built in. No coding your own system from scratch.
Holders, grippers, cameras, grating coupler adapters. A full range of accessories, ready for your application.
Ethernet control. DLL and sample code provided, in C++, C#, and Python.
Advanced stage control, easily built into your own process flow.
Same hardware and software as our dedicated production system. What you start in R&D moves straight to production.
Scalability
Start small.
Scale when you're ready.
Begin with a compact alignment setup on your test bench. Expand it, unit by unit, into an assembly system.
The EW runs on the same stages and alignment software as our production-line systems. UV curing, adhesive dispenser, observation and vision cameras. Add what your process needs, when it needs it.
Same system, same software, same knowledge. Nothing to relearn on the way to production.
- Vertical Access Unit (with Gripper)
- Horizontal Access Unit
- Machine Vision (Pre-alignment), Adhesive dispenser and UV curing light
- 2 or 3-Axis device holder
- Grating coupler adapter
- Gripper adapter
